Can't synchronize iCloud account

Hi, i just downloaded Thunderbird for Windows and I'm trying to configure my mail accounts but I can't find a way to do it with the iCloud one. I already know about the "app specific password thing"/2 step verification and I already use it on my android smartphone, but here I keep getting the same error message saying that there's something wrong about id, password or configuration. Also, I tried to use the default "Mail" app from windows and it works fine, though I'd prefer to use Thunderbird. Any suggestion?

I looked at setting up an iCloud account and TB found the Settings for Apple's mail servers:

Incoming Mail is IMAP / Server is imap.mail.me.com / Connection is SSL Outgoing Mail is SMTP / Server is smtp.mail.me.com / STARTTLS

You may have to use Manual Setup ...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the manual setup didn't work either
